Tell your 1st bunch of friends that this other band wants you and you'll go with them if they don't start getting their shit together. Speaking from experience, it will be difficult if you have to go along way(another county?) to practice. Not to mention; screamo will kill your vocal cords... and it's usually boring after the 1st song. - Please, scream responsibly.
Keep it all fun but start your own band... with serious people that are not friends... put up a flyer and have auditions. If you are serious -make it serious, it will happen.

Only someone with serious ninja skills can pull off something like that. I suggest you thouroughly check out your options and the concequences of those options. Careful consideration is required. Unless you are me which you have described. The me option is to screw your friends and seek whatever option bst suits your interests. Friends are resources to be used. If they are useless...get rid of them.

When I said try both, I meant to do so HONESTLY. Work to be a professional musician that gets gigs with the guys who are serious, and jam out with your friends, just be honest with them all about the situation. Tell your friends if they want to become more serious that you are open to that. You know that professional musicians do the same thing right? Take a look at Maynard James Keenan, lead singer of Tool and A Perfect Circle.
